long period - premenopause symptom ? Posted: 05-17-08 23:09pm


I am on the end of the 3rd week of having my period. It is normal, then goes quite heavy with lots of blood clots, goes to almost nothing, for about 4 hours, then right back to having my period again. Is this premenopause?

Hi, If you don't mind, may I ask how old you are? When I was in my forties I had long, heavy periods and I began to use a natural progesterone cream and they became lighter and more normal. The symptoms you have show you have a hormone imbalance and sometimes a bit more progesterone is needed to regulate cycles. If you do some research you can find information on the subject and see if it might be a solution for you. DianaJJ

You should see your doctor. It could be a fibrous uterine tumor. They are benign but will result in long periods. This will lead to anemia and can become serious. Any prolonged and heavy bleeding needs to be investigated by your doctor.
